Are you a Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan fan out of interest?

It seems TUA is the national space agency. Then these two (Rokestan and Delta V) are the tech developers for the agency. ROKETSAN owners are SOEs....so they can leverage from the RnD base in those (and roketsan itself) already like they already have with the sounding rocket tests. So I would...

If democraps and their mob want to cancel everyone and everything that doesn't sit right with them now (or so they say)....they can start with themselves....if they have one shred of consistency. It was the democrap party that created and emboldened the white-hooded klan.....heck robert...

That's true. I did start with saying the progress here is commendable.....just 8 years ago China was about at grant level India is at now (internationally)....and the ROI (per patent grant) seems to be about the same for both. So the road is long in this sector. But China govt will need to...

The progress by China here is commendable, but it requires some context (qualitatively) too. There's the actual quality/relevance of the patents....an altogether different matter past raw numbers. Not to mention how many actually get granted in the end (compared to filed)...

Well it just becomes even faster (in getting older) than say 2.5 or 3....but same thing (median age increase) happens at any X number as long as its lower than a period before (say when it was 4, 5 ,6 per women etc). What matters is what is the change in fertility rate over period of time...

No harm in letting some time play out this year and lets see. I have feeling this is all mostly above our pay grades here.

If you find an official "international standard" in reporting this data...I'd like to see it....as there is no international agreement on reporting and journalism....but there is definitely an accepted definition of what trade is. WTO, World Bank etc...all define and report trade as both goods...

Yah it is why it need to be grounded on some constant consumption basket as far as possible. So in Turkey case, it would be total Lira size of economy minus the inflation of Lira (over the period measured from). Now how you define, calculate that inflation (to get real growth) is the govt...

Trade: the action of buying and selling goods and services. "Trade involves the transfer of goods or services from one person or entity to another, often in exchange for money. Economists refer to a system or network that allows trade as a market." Let me know if you find a definition that...

Yah bro, US govt has issued immense amount of national debt since 9/11 coz of the 2 major war spending programs creating deficit they needed to borrow from others....not to forget the 08 crisis that made it worse too. Thus it means there is lot more USD in the world system's liquidity...

It (USD conversion of nominal Lira GDP by direct extrapolation of exchange rate to whole economy) is significant, but about to 1/3rd level (at most) of total economy. That's because Turkey imports is about 230 billion USD (2019), out of total nominal economy of around 750 billion USD...

https://www.thecricketmonthly.com/story/1252109/harbhajan-singh-remembers-india-2001-series-win-over-australia Great read @Saiyan0321 @Joe Shearer @Jackdaws et al. (dunno/forgot if @VCheng is cricket fan) Arguably the best test match ever....and quite possibly the best test series too...

With the Shekhar gupta analysis vids in general, I tend to agree/strongly agree with a lot/most of what he says (though I sometimes staunchly disagree with certain parts or even whole premises too, but that is only natural with any other person in the world). But it is rare I strongly agree...

Wow man, you are giving the hard potent steel lately, good job. I have mentioned very similar here recently: https://defencehub.live/threads/canadas-parliament-declares-chinas-treatment-of-uighurs-genocide.5297/#post-55804
